Y yes it is:

Yes, the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant! In terms of sound, a vowel is 'a speech sound which is produced by comparatively open configuration of the vocal tract, with vibration of the vocal cords but without audible friction...', while a consonant is 'a basic speech sound in which the breath is at least partly obstructed' (definitions from the New Oxford Dictionary of English, 1998)

Maybe that why the article is dumb facts?B|

well you can try this but you definitely need knee and shoulder pads to protect yourself from the swinging weight.

though many new timers find it easier to tie the weight around the balls this does not achieve the desired effect.
